I feel really left out since a large portion of my blogging friends put up post pre-Ike last week and I didn't. But now I can post post-Ike and they can't, so I will. We have received some phone calls and questions as to how things faired in our area, so I'll let you know what I know. Sorry for y'all there if I get it wrong. =]
Seems that our area mostly experienced felled trees, but minimal damage to homes and little flooding. Our home had no damage at all and no downed trees. There was some flooding in a few streets near our home, but nothing major. The biggest issue has been the power outage that is still continuing. The estimate is 2-4 weeks before power is restored to Montgomery county. Several nearby areas (Katy, Sugarland, even rumors as close as 1960) all have power back, but because of some equipment damage Montgomery county may not have power for quite some time.
I talked with Kim today and they still have water and gas (unfortunately Kim has an electric stove, but we still could have cooked on our gas stove). A lot of people are leaving the area for a few days/weeks until things get more sorted out. However, it seems like our area was blessed without too much lasting damage.
Please feel free to comment and correct my hearsay if any of you Mongomery-ites get access to internet.

Sounds right to me, but we got out before it hit. But we are hoping power will be up soon so we can go home. Aren't you glad you are far from it now?
We got lucky and had power back by 3pm the day of the storm. What a blessing! If you guys had to move, at least it was BEFORE the hurricane.
Just got power back yesterday and I am sorry we weren't able to check on your house ( got your phone message late) We left and went to Oklahoma before the storm and just got back). IT is fine though : )
